Main Dish
  • 2 cups (500 ml) cooked and mashed butternut
  • ½ cup (125 ml) flour
  • 1 t (5 ml) Ina Paarman's Masala Spice
  • 1 t (5 ml) baking powder

  • canola oil for frying
Garnish
  • 1 lemon sliced into wedges
Cinnamon sugar
  • 2 T (30 ml) white sugar
  • ½ t (2,5 ml) cinnamon

Ina’s Tip

Depending on the moisture content of the butternut, you may have to add a little more flour (15 - 30 ml).

Method:

Mix the butternut, flour, Masala Spice and baking powder. Stir in the egg to form a thick batter. Pan fry spoonfuls in moderately hot oil (about ½ cm deep) until golden-brown. Drain on kitchen or brown paper.

Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the fritters. Serve hot with lemon slices.
